Planted at an altitude of 360m, Hemelrand Vine Garden is a blend of Roussanne, Chenin, Chardonnay and Verdelho. On the nose, this blend gives notes of stone fruit and white flowers, with a touch of sweet spices and ripe apple. The palate is powerful and fragrant, with a lovely acidity that sets off this savory richness. - Very limited quantities!
